CloudDrive2
CloudDrive2 links cloud accounts and mounts them as local disks, with backup, encryption, and WebDAV features. Listed sources include Aliyun Drive, Baidu, 115, Tianyi, 123 Pan, OneDrive, Google Drive, Xunlei, WebDAV, and local folders. Its mounts support POSIX semantics on Linux and macOS and Windows security descriptors; random writes do not require downloading the full file first. The free Basic tier allows up to two cloud drives and one local mount, without Core Pro features. Core paid plans provide unlimited clouds and local mounts; Core Monthly costs 4.99 CNY a month and Core Yearly costs 49.99 CNY a year. The app can connect to Emby and Jellyfin, and the maker offers a companion plugin for both. App Pro adds HDR and Dolby Vision, DSD, ISO disc playback, AI subtitle translation, media-server client features, and VR video. CloudDrive2 also includes a WebDAV server and a gRPC API with over 200 RPC methods. The maker says account details are encrypted with the user's password and only a password hash is stored on the server. It supports Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, web UI, NAS, and Docker.
